George Grosz (1893 - 1959)

Much has been written on the works of George Grosz and close studies of his art have proven Grosz to be a consciously political artist during a period of turmoil in Germany. Using his art to arouse awareness of the working class and as a sword to strike blows at the state, he is considered one of the most biting, anti-military, anti-fascist caricaturists of the 20th century. Grosz' work is a graphic depiction of the years between the two World Wars.
